The vampire love story is way better than pointless Snoke and Rey. It literally takes ZERO effort to not give the characters a background after the last film created so many mysteries. People defended the last film because they believed ep.9 had the answers. It didn't. The characters didn't grow...nothing happened. Lazy.
Exactly.. I did not care for TFA but was willing to say that it could be made a better movie if the big picture helped flesh out the characters and answered some questions.. It did not... At first I was willing to ignore that Rey's powers were not explained and, to a lesser extent, that Snoke's background was ignored... But with some time I began to find it very annoying and a huge cheat or just laziness..
I also have a feeling that we will never know how Maz got Luke's saber.. Its destroyed now so that "interesting story for another time" will be ignored also..
These films just seem to fly by the seat of their pants.. I am starting to think that its all improvised
